Cold Air Induction Grilles???
I've got a pair of these grilles that I have never installed. Is it worth it to install these? Do they do any good? What about letting water and dirt into the engine area? Just how the heck do you install these?

I have the fog light ones and llike the functionality & appearance. :yesnod: Mine is a daily driver and I've never had a problem with water injestion or dust.
The link below is a good start on the install...

I made some - better looks, more dirt, no SOTP difference, and quite a dificult install.
I haven't noticed any more dirt in the engine compartment, the way I did it, the install wasn't too difficult.
before the install of the cold air screens my IAT temps were running about 20 degrees above ambient temp.
after the install my IAT temps were at ambient temp!
that's an improvement to me!
cooler air = more power! :cheers:
